Chapter 2699

Fushanlie was in the northern demon realm—what strange and bizarre demons had he not seen? Aggregated demons were few, but some insectoid clans in Begga were of this type. What surprised him was that aggregated demons could actually cultivate into true immortals. This must have been a privilege from ancient times, right?

"There is only one such being in the world, no more, no less." He Lingchuan introduced the main topic: "For many years, the Heavenly Palace has been searching everywhere for the Hidden God under the leadership of the Holy Lord of the Spiritual Void. Now, finally, there are some clues."

Fushanlie said nothing.

The Heavenly Deity had ordered Begga to dig everywhere for immortal caves—this he knew.

But digging a true immortal's cave was probably not easy, right?

"The Hidden God's body is colossal, even larger than Panlong City." He Lingchuan observed Fushanlie's expression and knew he did not grasp the seriousness of the problem—those who had never seen the Hidden God could not comprehend that shock. "As I just said, the Hidden God's body can change shape at will; even if a piece the size of an orange is cut from it, it can become a living creature."

Fushanlie furrowed his brow, finally muttering something was off: "So what?"

"The Holy Lord of the Spiritual Void had long set his sights on it, wanting to use this trait of the Hidden God to mass-produce divine descents!" He Lingchuan did not beat around the bush, laying it all out like pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "The Hidden God is a true immortal, and a divine body made from its flesh can support the complete descent of the heavenly demons. Hey, how could mortal flesh and ordinary demon puppets compare to that?"

Complete descent?

Fushanlie chuckled: "If that's really the case, then it's also your doom—how is that bad for us?"

"I'm not talking about ten or a hundred, but thousands and tens of thousands!" He Lingchuan poured a cup for each of them, "With this speed of spiritual energy recovery, soon the spiritual density of the human world will be able to bear the collective descent of the heavenly demons. Once they truly return to the human world, what use will you Beggans be? Even if keeping Begga around is still useful, what use is your emperor?"

If all the Spiritual Void could achieve complete descent, the first thing they would do is personally and completely control Begga, turning it into the finest sword in their hand, so they could point it at the human world. By then, the demon emperor would not only not be an aid, but would become a stumbling block in their control of Begga.

With the heavenly demons' temperament, could they be polite to the demon emperor?

Fushanlie's smile slowly faded. He could of course understand this reasoning.

He remained silent for a few breaths before speaking:

"You said the Holy Lord has always been searching for the Hidden God—this is again unverifiable information, right?"

He Lingchuan gently shook his cup: "I can give you more detailed information: the search for the Hidden God has always been conducted by the Jia Lou Heaven, and they have received strong assistance from the sea clan."

"Sea clan?" This was another secret Fushanlie did not know. Although the northern demon realm also had sea clans, he immediately understood that He Lingchuan referred to the marine demon clans of foreign overseas waters.

"Exactly. The heavenly demons have long courted the Sea Emperor Xuandu, who is also a true immortal and did not participate in the ancient Immortal-Demon War. Otherwise, relying solely on the heavenly demons and the Heavenly Palace, where could they find the Hidden God hidden in the deep sea?"

How did this bring up another true immortal again?

It was rare to hear the names of great heavenly demons and true immortals, yet today they came one after another from Huying's mouth. Fushanlie felt a bit numb, and after a while he said:

"Sea Emperor Xuandu?"

"He commands several sea clans under him, the most prosperous of which operates in the Xuangjin Islands waters—namely the Gray Mackerel Shark demons and the Spiny-Tooth Shark clan. If you have the leisure to send people there, you will surely gather some information." He Lingchuan leaned back, "I merely want to tell you that your time is also running short."

Once the heavenly demons collectively descend and clean up the demon emperor, what fate awaits Fushanlie, who is die-loyal to the demon emperor?

He Lingchuan left it at that. This zombie was a rare example of well-developed limbs but not a simple mind—he would figure it out on his own.

Fushanlie did not know what to say for a moment.

The information Huying the General provided was increasingly mixed, numerous, and detailed, and thus less likely to be false. Actually, just giving a few directions would naturally prompt Begga to investigate—for example, tracking the high priests under Jia Lou Heaven. Of course, the aquatic clans of the Xuangjin Islands are also an excellent breakthrough point.

Precisely because this information could be verified, Fushanlie's mood became especially complex.

The secret information Huying provided involved either the great heavenly demon or a true immortal, or was the Heavenly Palace's bottom-secret formula, or the Holy Lord of the Spiritual Void's absolute secret plan—listening to it sent chills down Fushanlie's bones.

If he were any more fragile, this would be the burden he could not bear.

Fushanlie wiped his face, forcibly dragging his wandering spirit back, and then said:

"I also have something I want to ask. How exactly did Lady Lady Lady Mitian die?"

Lady Lady Lady Mitian's death shocked the heavenly realm, and afterward the outbreak of Emperor's Flow lasted a full year and a half, but this great heavenly god's fall has always remained an unsolved mystery.

How could such an unparalleled powerhouse just vanish for no reason?

Lady Lady Lady Mitian's battles with the Black Dragon God Lord and Zhong Wuhuan took place in the Red General's sea of consciousness; only He Lingchuan and two others witnessed them under heaven, while everyone else, including the Holy Lord of the Spiritual Void, did not know the true cause of Lady Lady Lady Mitian's fall, so for these years, heaven and earth have been full of conflicting theories.

Moreover, the gods also noticed that after Lady Lady Lady Mitian's fall, its fleshly shell—the Red General—seemed to quiet down for over a month before reappearing on the war front of Panlong State. So, is Lady Lady Lady Mitian's cause of death related to Panlong State?

He Lingchuan countered: "How does Begga view it internally?"

Fushanlie spread his hands: "No consensus, completely at a loss."

The upper echelons of Begga all found it unbelievable. But the heavenly realm also had some rumors and guesses that had spread to the human world, claiming it was the Holy Lord of the Spiritual Void's black hand—after all, the two sides had long-standing grudges.

The Holy Lord of the Spiritual Void denied it unusually firmly, but the gods still remained half-believing, half-doubting.

After all, the candidates capable of killing Lady Lady Lady Mitian are truly few.

In fact, including Fushanlie, the discerning people of Begga also thought this way, but Fushanlie would not say it to He Lingchuan's face.

So he was also genuinely curious: "Is it related to Panlong?"

He Lingchuan's expression turned grave: "Lady Lady Lady Mitian God Lord has always been Panlong's most steadfast supporter and pillar. Its passing has affected us too greatly."

Fushanlie had also considered whether Panlong had framed and killed Lady Lady Lady Mitian. But this possibility only flashed in his mind for a moment before being dismissed.

What level of great heavenly god was Lady Lady Lady Mitian? Even Miao Zhantian had once been beaten by it until he was clutching his head and jumping around!

Would a lively elephant drown in a knee-deep water puddle?

Even if Panlong had the intention, could it successfully ambush Lady Lady Lady Mitian? Over countless years, Lady Lady Lady Mitian had been at odds with the Holy Lord of the Spiritual Void, but the Holy Lord could not do anything to it—could these humans have managed?

Moreover, Lady Lady Lady Mitian was indeed Panlong State's greatest pillar; after its fall, would Begga's attack on Panlong not become reckless?
